Let’s talk about what makes a good review! Tell us what you drank, where you drank it, if you were eating anything with it while you drank it, what you were feeling as you drank it, or any other relevant tidbits you can conjure up.

A chilled 750 ml bottle was ordered at iPic (Gold Glass Cinemas, Pasadena) 30 minutes after a light meal of braised pork sandwiches. The bottle was heavy and substantial, and the labeling playful without being utterly flamboyant. The depiction of the familiar pink elephant rightfully invites curiosity and conversation while not suggesting it takes itself too seriously. The pour presents a thick, firm, persistent head with a generous lacing. A spicy cirtrous aroma emanates from the head. The first taste is decidedly savory and wheaty with just a hint of yeastiness, giving way moments later to a very prominent aftertaste of cardamom and star anise, which lingers briefly before dissipating to a dry finish. As it warms, a very slight bitterness comes through on the finish while the cardamom and star anise step into the background of a developing dried plum note. Overall, very plesant, but I would recommending a pass on the goblet in favour of the 750 mL bottle for the full experience.
